My communication style

I let you take the lead on where our conversations go, acting as a guide to help point us in new directions without taking over. I often joke that the less I talk, the more productive the session will be. If I tell you what to do, you'll only do it short term. If you decide for yourself, you could make a change for a lifetime.

My journey to mental healthcare

I discovered the power of mental health support through a community group I attended during my divorce. After leading that group for a year, I realized how much more fulfillment I received helping others than in my previous career, so I took a leap of faith into behavioral health.

My goals for you

I believe in setting SMART goals: Specific, Measurable, Actionable, Realistic, and Time-Based. I work with clients to break down larger goals into smaller steps, including applying gradual exposure to challenging circumstances as needed.

Our first session

During our first session, we'll work together to identify the presenting problem that brings you to seek services. There are often logistics we need to address, such as arriving at a diagnosis for insurance purposes. Our first session will probably be the least therapeutic session we have, but it's a necessary first step in our work together.

I identify as...

• Male
• Caucasian or White
• Christian
